Probably unpopular but I think this is a tough one. Obviously, if you take the time to understand multiple layers of context it’s a joke. But that’s a hard standard to apply to all moderation. And it’s difficult to make context-sensitive rule exemptions that don’t serve bad faith actors.
The account owner of @sarahkendzior.bsky.social was suspended for 72 hours for expressing a desire to shoot the author of an article. The post, made 11/10, stated: "I want to shoot the author of this article just to watch him die." 1/2

Reports of the death of the bachelor’s degree have been greatly exaggerated. Enrollment is near pre-pandemic levels, real tuition is flat or down, and the college wage premium remains high.
I explore how the narrative became disconnected from the data.

After reviewing coverage from the network and hours of social media videos that preceded Trump’s decision, ProPublica found that Fox’s portrayal of “Portland rioters” routinely instigating violence was misleading.

Rape is the distillation of the far-right worldview that Trump embodies: a gleefully sadistic act of domination carried out as fulfillment of a supposedly natural hierarchy. It would be weird if Trump wasn’t a rapist, given his ideological commitments—which is before you get to all the accusations.
i mean c’mon. the president’s best friend was the most notorious pedo in the country’s history who ran a massive child trafficking ring. every bit of circumstantial evidence we have says that trump was a participant. if this were a criminal trial we’d have enough evidence to compel a plea deal.

The more surprising thing is that anyone believes that a guy who has more than two dozen (known) cases of sexual assault and harassment against him is not involved with Epstein 🤷♀️
Breaking News: House Democrats released emails in which Jeffrey Epstein alleged that Donald Trump knew of the convicted sex offender's conduct and “spent hours at my house” with a victim.
Epstein Alleged in Emails That Trump Knew of His Conduct
In a message obtained by Congress, the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein wrote that Donald J. Trump spent hours at his house with one of Mr. Epstein’s victims.

“The President sent his lawyer to negotiate a settlement with a convicted sex trafficker to provide cushy accommodation in exchange for her silence on his participation in said sex trafficking” is a cold description of the facts of an insane story that the media doesn’t find worthy of scrutiny

Politicians in opposition see Trump’s war on US cities as a “political stunt”. Combat vets who served as occupiers—and people living under Trump’s military rule—see it profoundly differently. It’s a *war*, @warren.senate.gov. He’s levying war on the United States, by his own admission to generals.

Believing the Epstein stuff will somehow derail Trumpism has always struck me as a bit fantastical, they voted for him after the civil trial proved he was a rapist and after he confessed to being a serial rapist on tape, but hopefully the rest of you are right on this.

Also, the HHS Secretary sold cocaine in college and was a heroin addict for 14 years so it is RICH whenever they go after people for old drug offenses.
Even if you don’t care about people who use drugs - you really should care about other people - they will still just lie that you are a person who uses drugs when they want other people not to care about you
After José's arrest sparked outrage in August, DHS attacked him in a press release, calling him a "criminal illegal alien, not a firefighter." DHS has cited a 12-year-old drug delivery charge while failing to acknowledge the charge was dismissed.
